In depth
Verdict
A winner over course and distance at the Craven meeting over course and distance recently, Attache is taken to follow up in this similar contest with Danger Over and Border Subject looking the main threats. Attache has only been raised 4lbs for his success 18 days ago and although the ground will be more testing today that should not be a problem for the son of Wolfhound who is a confirmed soft ground performer. Jamie Osborne's French import Danger Over made a winning start to his British career at Kempton last month and is open to further improvement, while Border Subject won this prize 12 months ago but has to race off an 11lb higher mark today. Capricho, strictly held by the selection on running last time and in-form sprinter The Tatling are others to consider in a race that may not be as competitive as the numbers suggest.
